There are people working in offices today who not only claim to be IT illiterate but seem to think that’s acceptable in the modern workplace:

Fascinating to sit in on two handover sessions today for replacement PCs. Feedback from one user: "remember we're not IT literate – I wouldn't use a computer if I could help it"; resistance to change is one thing, but not being prepared to use the tools of the #ModernWorkplace?

That operations teams have a tremendous amount of power to disregard and even override recommendations provided by architects who are paid to provide solid technical advice.

That, in 2018, some conference organisers not only think an all-male panel is acceptable but are hostile when given feedback…
